We Wish You a Merry Christmas …..

…and a Happy New Year!!

Sarah and I would like to wish you all a wonderful Christmas spent with family and friends. We hope that 2010 is a year filled with many blessings, joy, and peace. We would also like to thank you all for stopping by and leaving us such wonderful and kind comments over the year – it really means so much to us.  Thanks for showing an interest in what we do and inspiring us to keep trying new crafts. Things will probably be a bit quiet here over the next few weeks as we relax over the summer holidays. 

Just before we head back to the kitchen for some last minute baking, I wanted to show you the Chocolate Bouquet that we made last night to use as a festive centrepiece. Armed with red and clear cellophane, a box of Ferro Rocher Chocolates, a white flower pot, and some floristry wire and tape, we made this arrangement. Sarah had never done any floristry before – she was a natural. I hope to refine our technique a bit next year – they would be also be cute for Valentines Day and Mothers Day.

Here are some little handbags that I made up – just because (when I should have been preparing the food!)

Hope Santa is good to you!!

    The centerpiece and the handbag ornaments are both precious and oh, so clever! Thank YOU for sharing all of your imaginings with all of us! It has been a delight to follow your blog. Merry Christmas. (it’s so strange to think of you on summer break while we’re in the midst of winter!)

    Enjoy the festive season xxx

    Your chocolate bouquet is beautifully done and those purses are so cute! Perhaps in the future you might share how you made them? I can imagine making them to hang with little trinket gifts inside….
    Pretty please? =)

    Merry Christmas!
